Abstract

L2 writing classrooms and programs often inadvertently adopt discourses of deficit, situating L2 writers as lacking in skills, knowledge, or resources. Workshop participants examine how such discourses are often (re)produced through postsecondary classroom practices, assessment, and administration, while also developing strategies for countering these dominant discourses.
